The MX-C250 and MX-C300W desktop color document systems are designed to be compact and powerful,
bringing performance and productivity to individuals and small workgroups. These models are capable of
compact
output speeds of up to 30 pages per minute (PPM), regardless of whether you’re working with monochrome
or color documents.
• Offering print, copy, scan and fax features, these business-quality multifunction document systems
enhance day-to-day workflows.
• The compact size of the MX-C250 and MX-C300W enable them to fit into tight workspaces without sacrificing
the advanced technology that provides professional quality output.
• Standard wireless networking on the MX-C300W allows users to connect to the multifunction device without

MX-C250/C300W to mobile products such as iPad ®, iPhone®, AndroidTM, Windows® 8, or Windows® RT devices.
The compact design of the MX-C250/C300W series was achieved using breakthrough technologies developed
internally by Sharp, which include a high performance lens, downsized scanning unit, side-by-side toner
cartridges and a reduction in overall parts. These technologies have helped Sharp offer one of the lowest
costs-per-copy (CPC) in this category!

POWERFUL MFP FEATURES IN A SMALL FOOTPRINT
Designed for Workgroups or Individual Offices
Low Cost of Ownership
From the ground up, Sharp designed these compact desktop color document systems to keep
your everyday costs low starting with a unique dual component developer system that offers
one of the lowest costs-per-copy in the category. Sharp understands that the initial cost
of office equipment is only part of the equation you consider when making an important buying
decision. Be sure to ask a Sharp representative to analyze your office usage and let them show
you savings specific to your office!
Compact yet powerful enough for workgroup environments.
Easy-to-Use Control Panel
The MX-C250/C300W use a 5-line LCD panel and ergonomic keypad for quick entry of
copying, scanning or faxing requirements. The customizable program keys allow users to save
the frequently used settings/destinations. For example, if you often scan to a network folder in
a PDF format at 200 dpi, this can all be accomplished with the touch of one button.
Compact Design
These MX models offer a small footprint that is perfect for tight work environments or individual
office desktops. With a compact size of 17"(w) x 20"(d) x 15 3/4"(h), finding a location for a new
full-function device has never been easier.
Convenient access to paper path from side panel door makes
it easy to clear misfeeds.
Sharp Developments
The sophisticated features, low cost-per-copy and size of the MX-C250/C300W are only
possible with a 100% new clean sheet design by Sharp engineers. This series offers a compact
scanner with custom lenses that don’t sacrifice resolution, side-by-side toner cartridges for
easy changing, and a reduction in the overall number of parts compared with previous generation
Sharp models.

Folder
Sharp’s integrated network scanning offers one-touch document
distribution to multiple destinations (Fax on MX-C300W only).
An easily accessible USB connector on the front of the MFP
allows simplified access to common USB thumb drives.
Micro-fine Toner Technology helps provide optimum color
balance and density as well as enhanced edge definition.
Standard SPF/RSPF
The MX-C250 comes equipped with a standard 35-sheet Single Pass Document Feeder and
the MX-C300W comes equipped with a standard 50-sheet Reversing Single Pass Document
Feeder. Each feeder allows for 9 pages-per-minute color and 18 pages-per-minute black & white
scanning so processing important documents is quick and easy. In combination with the built-in
stackless duplex module, these feeders allow users to easily print on both sides of the paper.
Wireless Connectivity
With the standard wireless connectivity on the MX-C300W, users can easily scan or print from
up to 5 wireless devices simultaneously such as a PC, laptop, smartphone, or tablet. Using
Sharpdesk Mobile or standard wireless communication protocols users can easily communicate
with the MX-C300W without the hassle of a wired connection. Users no longer have to transfer
files or images to a local machine prior to printing. Additionally, wireless connectivity enables the
MFP to be placed in locations that may not have a wired network outlet.
Advanced Color Scanning
MX-C250/C300W scanning provides a multitude of functional ways to distribute scanned
documents to your business partners. Scanning options include:
•Scan to E-mail sends documents as an E-mail attachment
•Scan to FTP Server scans documents directly to an FTP server for storage
•Scan to Network Folder (SMB) sends files to a shared folder on a networked Windows PC
•Scan to Desktop sends scanned documents directly to your PC desktop via Sharpdesk
•Scan to USB Memory scans documents directly to USB memory devices
Out-of-box Network Printing
Standard PCL© 6 and PostScript® 3TM compatible printing offer enhanced productivity for busy
offices and workgroups. The MX-C250/C300W provide high quality rendering of both PC and Mac
files without adding additional cost. PostScript output makes the MX-C250/C300W an excellent
choice for photo or PDF proof printing.
Sharp Micro-fine Toner Technology
The MX-C250/C300W utilize the latest micro-fine toner technology, enabling faithful reproduction
of graphics and documents with fine detail. The MX-C250/C300W use a dual-component
developing system while still being one of the smallest and lightest in its class, even compared
with competitive mono-component system models. And the Sharp dual-component developing
system can reproduce clearer dot images and smoother lines than typical mono-component
systems. In addition, the granularity produced by a dual-component developing system is superior
to that by a mono-component system.

which offers a lower consumption rate and produces less waste than
conventional toners, resulting in longer replacement intervals. Sharp supplies
are packaged using fully recyclable materials. Long-life consumable parts help
minimize service intervals and downtime, resulting in lower operating costs.
With two different energy saving modes, power can be reduced or shut off at
set intervals. The MX-C250/C300W document systems are ENERGY STAR ®
qualified and RoHS compliant to help meet the latest green initiatives.

As part of our commitment to helping preserve the environment, Sharp offers
our customers zero-waste-to-landfill recycling for all Sharp consumables,
including cartridges, bottles, toner collection containers and drum units. Sharp
encourages customers to recycle their used Sharp toner cartridges in bulk by
providing a pre-paid Recycling Kit for their return to our facility.
